This year marks a significant milestone for Beverley and East Riding Golf Club as it celebrates its 135th anniversary.
The club was established in 1889, making it the oldest inland course in Yorkshire.

Of course, sharing the Westwood with cattle and walkers makes it a course like no other!
Over the years, Beverley and East Riding Golf Club has evolved into a prestigious institution known for its challenging course, impeccable facilities, and warm hospitality. The club's rich history is a testament to the dedication of its members and staff who have worked tirelessly to maintain its reputation as one of the finest golf clubs in the region. This hard work is paying off, as the club has recently been awarded “Top 100 Courses under £40” status by Today’s Golfer magazine.
The 135th anniversary is a time to celebrate the legacy of Beverley and East Riding Golf Club and honour all those who have contributed to its success. It is a moment to cherish the traditions, values, and sense of community that define the club and make it a special place for golfers of all ages and skill levels.

Current captain, Ian Monaghan, said “It is a great honour to be captain of Beverley and East Riding Golf Club during its 135th year. And I’m very proud to be following in the footsteps of past captains such as Fred Elwell - captain in 1914 - whose paintings can be seen as you wander round Beverley.”
